thold installation problem

[marcofera]

Hi all, I've got a problem with thold.
I use red hat 5.6, cacti 0.8.7h, PA 3.0, settings 0.711 and thold 0.4.8
The installation runs fine, but when I activate the plugin and go to the thold tab it becomes "text only" see attachments.
Do you have any suggesion?
The first error is related to the thold tab, the second one is related to the "threshold" element in the left menu.

config.php includes a variable '$url_path'. It's generally set to '/cacti/'.

I added it, restarted httpd, but nothing has changed.

You have an installation problem. You need to find the root of the problem. When you do the problem will resolve itself.

Can you suggest a combination of releases of cacti, PA and thold (I can't change distro) that are proven to be free of such bugs? since the problem is only with thold what do you suggest to concentrate on in order to find the problem?

You need to be running 0.8.7g and PIA2.9 to have the best experience.

I had the same problem, so I started going through all the pre-patched files and ran a diff command to the one's I am running.

I only found a few differences, nothing that fixed it until I did the diff on the public_html/include/config.php

The plugin-architecture version 3.0 I also installed with the thold upgrade has a file called config.php.dist

So if you just copy the pre-patched files, you don't actually overwrite your running config.php with the change.

The diff command showed the $url_path was not in the running config file.

I copied the lines from the plug-in architecture cacti-plugin-arch/files/include/config.php.dist with that into my existing public_html/include/config.php

That fixed the display path problems within the thold plugin.

The lines added are...

/*
Edit this to point to the default URL of your Cacti install
ex: if your cacti install as at http://serverip/cacti/ this
would be set to /cacti/
*/
$url_path = "/";

Ok thanks yesterday I fixed the problem by applying all the patches prior to the PA installation.
